Hey guys, just poppin in to ask if anyone knows when stories will be
somewhat stable? We’re starting to use integration tests at work,
we’re already using rspec, and I’d like to avoid integration tests if
possible.
Thanks,

Are you serious? Stories haven’t even been released yet 
Realistically, names like Story, Scenario, Given, When and Then are
not likely to change. Methods like steps_for and with_steps_for
might change, but if they do it’ll be a simple search and replace
for you.
So, while I can guarantee you that there WILL be changes, I can tell
you that I’m using stories (and I’m not alone) and I expect that
whatever churn is in store should be relatively benign.
That said - I’ll reiterate - it is not even released yet. Use at your
own risk.
Cheers,
David
Aw, you both cautioned me and calmed me, I don’t know what to think
now! 
Seriously though, I’d love to use it over integration tests. When is
the next release? Are you on a scheduled release cycle?

We’re hoping to have a release out within a week or two. We’d like to
wait for Rails 2.0.0 to be released and then close any holes (we’re
passing against 2.0.0-RC1 and edge, so that shouldn’t be a big deal).
We’ve also been doing quite a bit of refactoring as you’re likely
aware - and there are a few regressions that have occurred that we’re
trying to resolve before we release.
So it’ll be soon. But probably not this week.
Cheers,
David

Here’s a plugin a friend and I developed for doing Rails-style
integration testing with Rspec:
http://faithfulcode.rubyforge.org/svn/plugins/trunk/spec_integration/
It might be more up your alley.

Woo, nice docs in there, ha!
How is it intended to be used?
Thanks,
